Lesson 8: David’s Time on the Run Part 2 1 Samuel 23-24 Last week we didn’t get as far as we wanted, but we got about a third of the way through David’s time on the run from Saul after he departed his house.

KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL Several phrases in , that have puzzled interpreters become more understandable in light of what we’ve been discussing.

In the fifth sermon of the series, we explore the challenge of trusting God when His plan isn’t clear or aligns differently from our own expectations. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6 and Isaiah 55:8-9, we emphasize that God’s ways and timing are higher than ours, and trusting Him requires faith beyond understanding. We’ll examine how trust deepens our relationship with God, moving us from head knowledge to personal experience, and discuss how trials often strengthen our faith. By embracing God’s plan, we find peace, guidance, and unexpected blessings, even in the midst of uncertainty.

As we continue on in our study through 2 Samuel, I am struck (though I am not surprised) by how God’s Word speaks today.

Peril and Providence We went through a few questions rather quickly last time as we were ending the study. There was a comment about God’s decisions involving risks at times. How is that appropriate?
